This is awkward in the context of something like $EDITOR, which is spawned off by some non-Cygwin program to run vim. In this case you'd either need to do a .bat file, or else a simple executable that ran cygpath and then exec'ed vim. The vim fix turns out to be basically a one-liner anyway. I've pretty well fixed up everything I need to now, and Cygwin is humming along very nicely. Many thanks to the efforts of all those involved. (BTW, I've got a modified bash.exe that doesn't pass ":" to readlist as a word-break character if anyone would like a patch or a binary.)
